Glad you liked it and I sincerely think that it would save a lot of lives
also. When you take a truck license you will be aware of loading techniques
and what is involved. You will be knowledgeable about roll over risks and
gravity points. It is a lot more on security risks and driving rules.
Hakan, good point. An analysis of European petroleum diesel (PONA
or paraffins, olefins, naphthenes, aromatics) versus US would show
that the EU has more cetane. The US refining base is configured
towards gasoline and kerosene which throws more cetane towards
diesel. It is illogical for VW
